NASHVILLE, TENN, July All OF the
directors of the Sheffield Land Company
of Alabama, and Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company, the Sheffield and Birmingham
Railroad Company, and the Sheffield Fur

common interests and can unite their prop
critics If they do unite they will compose
the second largest coal, iron and railroad

ing built by the Alabama and Tennessee

LETTERS NO TRADE MARK.
Judge jackson Renders O Decision I'm
portant to Mill Men.


NASHVILLE, July Judge Howell E.
jackson has rendered decision in the i'm
portant case of the Lawrence Manufac-
turing Company of Lowell, Mass, VS.. the
Tennessee Manufacturing Company of this
city for infringement. The bid was filed
in the United States Circuit Court Clerks
office April B, 1886, since which time
it has been pending, and has
attracted considerable attention among the
manufacturers The suit was broughtS to
restrain the defendant from using the CAPT
tai letters al. L. upon brown cotton
sheetings manufactured by it on the ground
that said letters constitute an essential
feature or portion of the complain
ants mark, by which it designates
cotton sheetings of particular
quality of its own manufacture
which it is claimed the defendant infringes
by using said letters upon sheetings of the
same class of grade and also to recover
damages for said infringement. After care
fully reviewing the case, Judge jackson
renders the following decision: Upon the
whole case the court is clearly of the opin-
ion that the complainant has no
legal trade mark in the letters LII"
that it is not entitled to the relief sought by
its bill, and that its said bill should be dis
missed with costs. 1t is accordingly so
ordered and decreed This case affects a
number of cases pending elsewhere of the
same general nature, and is of especial i'm
portance to Southern mills.
